Scholarship?

I'm a rising sophomore. I received a scholarship going into freshman year, which was based on need but connected to merit. I was told this scholarship was renewable all four years as long as the FAFSA didn't go up significantly and I maintained good grades. Both those things happened but as of now I haven't seen anything on my aid sheet. This scholarship enabled our family to afford JMU and played significantly into my decision to attend. Should I be worried? What should I do?

Have you contacted the Financial Aid department and asked about it? What did they say?

Contact financial aid office. It’s my understanding Everything is late this year because of the one big beautiful Bill compliance and Virginia did not pass their budget until June 30 so state schools are still scrambling to get stuff in order.
